Tanegashima Domain

The Tanegashima Domain was a feudal domain of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

History
The Tanegashima were isolated on the island of Tanegashima south of Kyushu, and were descended from the Taira clan. The Tanegashima were vassals of the Shimazu clan, and were thus allies with the Satsuma Domain. During the Boshin War, they supported the Satsuma and Imperial forces.
